About this spot
A walk-in cliff zone on Saguaro Lake past the Saguaro del Norte day-use area in Tonto National Forest, known locally as 'The Chains.' Desert-reservoir cliffs ring a cove that's popular for jumping in the warmer months.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
